Supporting Individuals to Explore Strengths, Prepare for Work, and Succeed in Meaningful Employment.
2WBCS is developing person-centered employment services for eligible DDD members. Services will be delivered according to the individual service plan, authorization, assessed needs, goals, preferences, and applicable DDD requirements after contract approval. Our role is to help each person move toward greater confidence, choice, independence, and meaningful participation in the workforce and community.
Employment Services That Build Independence
Pathway to Employment (PTE)
Pathway to Employment supports individuals who are exploring employment and building the skills needed to move toward competitive integrated work. Support may include identifying strengths and interests, career exploration, workplace expectations, communication, self-advocacy, transportation and routine planning, résumé and interview preparation, benefits-awareness referrals, communitybased learning, and development of an individualized employment direction.
Employment Support Aide (ESA)
Employment Support Aide provides individualized assistance that helps an employed person participate successfully in the workplace. Authorized support may include workplace orientation, routines, communication, behavior support, personal support when included in the plan, problemsolving, employer and team collaboration, accommodation support, and gradual development of greater workplace independence.
Our Service Standard
Our service standard centers on person-centered and goal-directed support that respects each individual's dignity, autonomy, informed choice, and personal preferences. We take a strength-based approach to planning that focuses on building capacity, and we maintain clear communication with the member and their authorized support team at every step. Documentation is kept consistent and tied directly to the member's goals and authorized services, and all support is delivered within the approved scope, plan, and funding authorization. Above all, employment and community participation are shaped around the person's own interests and goals.
